I love the vintage knee hugger elves with their felt bodies and whimsical plastic heads that originally came from Japan. And then, someone got an admittedly very clever idea, and made them into a franchise and new Christmas tradition. Good for them. But...but...the whole premise of this elf is that he moves around your house and spies on you so he can tattle (or to use stronger language, narc) to Santa about bad behavior. Not very festive and verging on the creepy. To counter this Bad Elf movement, we need a Good Elf, and who better than our favorite mouse who, because of his typical home, got to be named after a star baseball player.
Join Mickey as he prepares for Christmas and tells Santa only good things.
First things first. Since those other elves tend to cause problems, Mickey coaxed them into cozy winter sleeping pods (aka lidded cups..with a breathing hole! no worries), for the duration of the Christmas season.
Let the preparations begin! Mickey heads out in the snowy wilderness and begins to round up the reindeer to ensure they are ready for the big night.
Olaf, of course, always wants to be a part of happy and fun times, so popping in unexpectedly is just his speed
Spontaneously flying apart is also Olaf's speed. You don't think innocent and always sweet Mickey would have a hand in this, do you? (and if he did, I'm not telling).
It takes a crowd to make this special delivery.
Mickey knows it's important to practice, even if you're an angel, but something is not right. Has someone's hair caught fire?
Mickey, the non narc elf, meets with Santa often to make sure that you and yours are on the list, with names spelled properly.
You work so hard getting everything set up for that perfectChristmas picture. And then...someone blinks, has their shirt all askew, or drops their candy cane. No time to re-do! Send out a real family moment this time.
Mickey stumbles upon the North Pole Music Theater storage shop, and pal Olaf is more than happy to try on different styles.
Even elves need to sleep. Sweet dreams are guaranteed swinging on a moonbeam.
Busy days build big appetites! Eat your sandwich first, and then you may have the candy cane. What's tucked away in that thermos, Mick?
What's better than a cup of coffee to perk you up? A cup of coffee made with the same blends used at Disney locations. You can find them all at https://www.joffreys.com/
Let those over exuberant folks help out! The memories are worth it.
Embrace the mess and relish the season.
Tinkerbell, full of sparkle, is worthy of her own tree.
Even Mickey is not past wishing on a star.
So how DO Santa's reindeer fly and cover the world in only one night? Sheldon knows.
Sleep tight, Mickey. Still a lot to do before the big day!
Someone has to get those stockings prepped for filling, right?
Christmas parties are a favorite for princesses.
Curl up with some cocoa and cookies and watch a classic Christmas movie.
